and, thence,

into the room through the passageway 12 and the openings 5. In this inan-v ner, there is less tendency for a'down draft i" of cold air being produced when the shutter is opened. The slight draft, produc-ed by the l2 and the openings 5, keep the the conduit warm and the down draft the principal object of my inprovi air adjacent-'the floor lll to pass into the openings 5, when the shutter il is raised, and to pass upw 50 and iniX wit ardly through the passageway l2 h the uprising column 'of warm a regis-Y de means for allowing cool g nneis'inn 1929. serial no. 345,300.

to torce the layer of cool air through the openings 5 and upwardly through thepassageway 12. In'this nianner,.the circulation ot the air in the room is improved and the cooler layers of air adjacent the'floor are constantly being replaced by warmer air.

I claim as my invention:

A vertically mounted warm air register having a grille and a vertically mounted plate adjacent the lower edge of the grille, said plate having an elongated horizontal narrow slot therethrough, and a second plate iXed to the lower edge of said first mentioned plate andv projecting inwardly and upwardly to a line much nearer tothe grille than to the slot or to the said lower edge, said second plate extending substantially the full length of said grille. l

Intestimony whereof, I hereunto 'set my h hand.
